SAN FRANCISCO -- A man critically injured in a triple shooting that stemmed from a weekend fight inside a SOMA night club is now listed in stable condition, police said Sunday evening.

The man, who is in his 30s, was shot in the torso and had been hospitalized in critical condition, San Francisco police officer Carlos Manfredi said.

The victim was one of three people shot shortly after an argument about 1:15 a.m. inside the 330 Ritch nightclub, located on Ritch Street, an alley between Brannan and Townsend streets.

Manfredi said the other men, who are both in their 20s, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators on Sunday were still investigating what caused the fight, Manfredi said.

He did say that detectives determined one of the men was shot inside the club, another man was shot in front of the club and the third man was shot in a parking lot about a half mile away from the club near the intersection of Brannan and Ritch streets.

"We're still determining how many suspects were involved in this," Manfredi said Sunday evening.

No suspects were in custody on Sunday, and no descriptions were available.
